      (a) Permissible Uses of Card. A health security card that is issued to an 
    eligible individual under section 1001(b) may be used by an individual or 
    entity, in accordance with regulations promulgated by the Board, only for 
    the purpose of providing or assisting the eligible individual in obtaining 
    an item or service that is covered under 

        (1) the applicable health plan in which the individual is enrolled (as 
      defined in section 1902); 

        (2) a policy consisting of a supplemental health benefit policy 
      (described in part 2 of subtitle E of title I), a cost sharing policy 
      (described in such part), or both; 

        (3) a FEHBP supplemental plan (described in subtitle C of title VIII); 

        (4) a FEHBP medicare supplemental plan (described in such subtitle); or 

        (5) such other programs as the Board may specify. 

      (b) Form of Card and Encoded Information. The National Health Board shall 
    establish standards respecting the form of health security cards and the 
    information to be encoded in electronic form on the cards. Such information 
    shall include 

        (1) the identity of the individual to whom the card is issued; 

        (2) the applicable health plan in which the individual is enrolled; 

        (3) any policy described in paragraph (2), (3), or (4) of subsection 
      (a) in which the individual is enrolled; and 

        (4) any other information that the National Health Board determines to 
      be necessary in order for the card to serve the purpose described in 
      subsection (a). 

      (c) Unique Identifier Numbers. The unique identifier number system 
    developed by the National Health Board under section 5104 shall be used in 
    encoding the information described in subsection (b). 

      (d) Registration of Card. The Board shall take appropriate steps to 
    register the card, the name of the card, and other indicia relating to the 
    card as a trademark or service mark (as appropriate) under the Trademark 
    Act of 1946. For purposes of this subsection, the ``Trademark Act of 1946'' 
    refers to the Act entitled ``An Act to provide for the registration and 
    protection of trademarks used in commerce, to carry out the provisions of 
    international conventions, and for other purposes'', approved July 5, 1946 
    (15 U.S.C. et seq.). 

      (e) Reference to Crime. For a provision relating to criminal penalties 
    for misuse of a health security card or a unique identifier number, see
